From (my own) previous experience with this platform:

	- it doesn't scale very well beyond a certain amount of
 	  bandwidth processed.

	- it can only handle up to 1Gbps (maybe less); what do you
	  do after that?

	- it doesn't support policing of IPv6 traffic.

	- it doesn't know what to do with MPLS traffic (if you have
	  such an environment).

	- support is terrible.

	- redundant topologies are difficult to implement while
	  policing customer traffic.

Platform-independent issues include the requirement to have 
this system at all edge points, otherwise it assumes the 
bulk of your traffic will forever be international, i.e., 
how do you police local/regional/on-net traffic?

Cheers,

Mark.
